Live update - 26th Apr 2008

Mandira welcomes the judges and the audience... She then calls the top three - Harshit, Himani and Priyani...

She announces who has given votes to whom...

Himani - Prajakta
Priyani - No one has given her votes 😆
Harshit - All others except Prajakta 😊

So, Harshit enters champion side 👏

Mandira asks the judges if champions select the best among the top three...

Farah says we initially thought they will select the weakest among all.. But they are doing a great job.. Hats off to you guys...

First Champion to perform - Ishmeet.. He sings dil ne tumko chunliya hain..

Comments:

Shekhar - You sang this song with your own style and I think we learnt few harkatein from you.. We should have included them in our track too.. score - 9

Vishal - You made this song as your own... You sang very well.. Score - 8

Farah - Mandira says whenever Farah likes a performance, its usually seen on her face and even today she seems to have liked the performance.. Farah says, Ishmeet, you are very romantic... This is my one of the favorite tracks of Vishal-Shekhar and you did a great job.. I need to give you high marks.. score -9

Next champion is - Rahul Vaidya.. He sings sapnay mein milti hain.. He makes a grand entry from the champion side..

Comments:

Vinit - This is not a tough song but he has added his own murkhiyaan and done it really well.. I was going on looking at the judges and they were very happy listening to you...

shekhar - superb control.. Your sur went wrong in the beginning.. But your harkhatein that you took were great... score - 9

Vishal - You score - 9

Farah - This song is much less compared to your calibre.. But you did very well.. Vishal says there are some small harkatein which is very difficult to get the perfection... score -9

This song I dedicate to my guru Suresh Wadekar and next I dedicate it to you.. I had a crush on you when I saw you hosting the cricket world cup.. But later came to know that you are married.. So, felt very bad 😆 He then sings Husn bhi aap hain song for her 😆 Mandira says, its difficult to leave me speechless and you have just done that..

Debojit sings main agar kahoon from OSO..

Mandira asks how come everyone is romantic today.. Debojit says may be because you are looking beautiful today..

Shekhar - I got remembered of SPB listening to you.. Your sur went wrong at the beginning.. But your voice was really good and suited the song.. score - 9

Farah - I have listened to this song many times and im really tired of listening to it.. But when I listened to you, I felt im listening to some new song.. To sing Sonu's song and bring this feeling is very tough.. She says "Sur vur bahaad mein gaye", I loved your voice.. 😆 score - 10

Vishal - He replies to Farah saying, "Sur is very important, woh bahaad mein nahin jaa sakte".. I loved that voice... But you did miss your sur.. score - 8

Next champion performance - Maula mere Maula by Abhijeet Sawant

Comments:

Amit Tandon - You were going sharp from mukhda to Antara.. The last harkatein was good but I felt you needed more feeling for this type of song..

Shekhar - Gao toh aisa gao ya phir mat gao... The thehrao was good and if it was studio, then this would have been your final take.. score - 10

Vishal - you made this as your own song.. And as your guru Amit had said 😉 - The entry note was wrong... For voice quality, it was perfect... score - 8

Farah - If someone had any doubts as to if you deserved to win Indian Idol, then all their doubts could be cleared now... score - 10

Vishal says, the feeling was very good, but for the points I have mentioned, I needed to cut marks...

Rooprekha sings Mere Dholna..

Sumitra - Honestly, I liked the performance..

Farah - This is the song of your calibre.. You did not have breathe control and was leaving the continuity.. score - 8

Shekhar - This is your type of song.. You should have prepared for the breathe control while practicing... score - 8

Vishal - Please give applause for Pritam and Shreya.. Your Bengali part was better.. But there was lot of discomfort in the song.. score - 8

Next Champion is Harshit.. He sings phirta rahoon dar badar...

Toshi - He definitely deserve to be there.. But I felt it did not match the expectation...

Vinit - Mandira asks Is it a 30 performance? He says Harshit was good, but there was something wrong and I feel the judges will give 9-9-9.. Vishal asks whats the reason? Vinit says "I just felt it.. Cant explain and he prays that the judges gives 10-10-10 so he does not fall into any controversy 😆

Vishal - There was some mistake in the sur for sure but I felt it was one of the best performance of the day.. score - 10

Farah - There is no doubt that you sang well.. But what song is this.. You sing those songs which we dont know... Harshit says, its the song from "the killer".. Farah says she doesnot like this song and asks score - 10

Shekhar - It was a very clear performance... You sang very well.. Score - 10

Next champion - Prajakta Shukre... Lambi Judaai

Himani - I need to take class from you.. I never thought you would attempt Richa's songs...

Vishal - I know all the challengers and champions would be upset as we gave high marks to you when you couldnt meet the expectation.. But we gave you because you deserve it and we didnt want you to get eliminated as you have lot of potential.. score - 9

Shekhar - Im a big fan of your voice... You sang really well.. score - 9

Farah - You dont open your voice to speak, just keep it for singing.. She asks vinit, how much to give and gives 10
